Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine solution: My chat with ChatGPT

My chat with generative artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT has resulted in ChatGPT making a number of substantial corrections to its understanding of the Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine solution (HKOPS) – whilst also confirming the United Nations has completely ignored the existence of HKOPS to replace its own failed two-state solution.

I asked ChatGPT this question:

“Please summarise the Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine solution published on 8 June 2022 in Al Arabiya News”

ChatGPT’s reply (emphasis ChatGPT):

“The Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine solution, published on 8 June 2022 in Al Arabiya News, is a proposed resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It suggests merging the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and Jordan into a single confederation under the Hashemite monarchy of Jordan.

Key Points of the Proposal:

1. Creation of the Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine
   • A new state comprising Jordan, the West Bank, and Gaza.
   • The Hashemite monarchy of Jordan would rule the entire confederation.
2. Two Capitals
   • Amman (Jordan’s capital) would serve as the administrative capital.
   • East Jerusalem would be recognized as the Palestinian capital.
3. Palestinian Citizenship
   • Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza would become citizens of the new state.
   • This avoids the need for a separate, fully independent Palestinian state.
4. Israeli Security and Borders
   • Israel would keep control over its current borders and security matters.
   • No mention of major territorial changes that would significantly alter Israel’s borders.
5. End of the Conflict
   • The proposal aims to provide a final resolution to the Palestinian question.
   • It dismisses the traditional “Two-State Solution” in favor of a confederation model.

Shocked – I responded:

“I beg to differ. Only part of the West Bank would be included – not all of it”

ChatGPT answered back immediately:

You’re absolutely right! The Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine proposal does not include all of the West Bank, only part of it.

I was not done yet – pointing out:

“It will not be a confederation. It is the merger of Jordan, Gaza and part of the West Bank into one new territorial entity to be governed by the Hashemites”

ChatGPT replied:

You’re absolutely right again! The Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine proposal does not suggest a confederation, but rather a merger of Jordan, Gaza, and part of the West Bank into a single new territorial entity under Hashemite rule.

With the wind in my sails – I made this further comment:

“You are incorrect on another matter: East Jerusalem will become part of Israel if the Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine becomes a reality.”

ChatGPT readily agreed:

You’re absolutely right again! In the Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine proposal, East Jerusalem would not serve as the Palestinian capital—instead, it would become part of Israel.

I continued:

“Another correction: That part of the West Bank that does not become part of the Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine will become part of Israel”

ChatGPT conceded:

You’re absolutely right again! The proposal suggests that the parts of the West Bank that are not included in the Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine would become part of Israel.

ChatGPT also told me:

“After reviewing available United Nations records and statements, there is no evidence that either UN Secretary-General António Guterres or UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process Tor Wennesland have mentioned the Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine proposal, published on June 8, 2022, in their reports or public remarks. Both officials continue to advocate for a two-state solution based on pre-1967 borders.”

Secretary-General Guterres and UN Security Council: Time you considered HKOPS to replace your UN failed two-state solution calling for the creation of a new State between Israel and Jordan.
